26、France is getting tough with food waste with great determination.A new law has been passed in the country that will ban grocery stores over 4, 305 square feet from throwing away unsold food.If it's still safe to eat, the food must be donated to charity; if not, it goes to farmers for use as animal feed or compost(肥料).
Supermarkets will no longer be allowed to destroy unsold food intentionally in order to prevent people from eating it.There are many people who search for food in the garbage cans behind stores, wanting to take advantage of the perfectly edible(可食用)food that gets thrown away on a daily basis; and yet some stores try to stop this, either by locking the garbage cans or pouring bleach(漂白剂)into them, a practice that Guillaume Garot, the former French food minister who proposed the new bill, describes as“scandalous.”
Food waste is a global problem, with an estimated 24 percent of calories produced for human consumption never getting eaten.Most of this waste happens at the final consumption stage.It is reported that“the average French person throws out 20 to 30 kilograms of food a year—7kg of which is still in its wrapping.”American shoppers throw away about one-fifth of everything they buy at the grocery store, according to a fascinating new documentary called“Just Eat It”.
The supermarkets aren’t happy about the new law because their food waste represents only 5 to 11 percent of the 7.1 million tons of food wasted annually in France.By contrast, restaurants waste 15 percent and consumers 67 percent.“The law is wrong in both target and intention, ”argues Jacques Creyssel, head of the distribution organization for big supermarkets.“Big stores are already important food donors.”
Despite this, France’s new law is a move in the right direction.Wasting food absolutely needs to become a socially immoral thing to do—much like throwing garbage on the ground.If law is what’s needed to get people thinking about conservation and edibility, then it's not a bad thing.
【1】How should supermarkets handle unsold food by the new law?
A.They should leave it alone.
B.They should give it away.
C.They should sell it at lower prices.
D.They should drop it into garbage cans.
【2】What does the underlined word“scandalous”in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Inconvenient.
B.Challenging.
C.Impractical.
D.Unacceptable.
【3】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The seriousness of food waste.
B.The reasons for food waste.
C.The consequences of food waste.
D.The solution to food waste.
【4】What do the supermarkets think of the new law?
A.It is strict.
B.It is ineffective.
C.It is unfair.
D.It is well-intentioned.
27、
Let’s say you want to hit the gym more regularly this year. How do you make that happen? Consider putting the habit loop to use.
Here’s how it works:
A habit is a 3-step process. First, there’s a cue, something that tells your brain to operate automatically. Then there’s a routine. And finally, a reward, which helps your brain learn to desire the behavior. It's what you can use to create-or break-habits of your own.
Here’s how to apply it:
Choose a cue, like leaving your running shoes by the door, then pick a reward—say, a piece of chocolate when you get home from the gym. That way, the cue and the reward become interconnected. Finally, when you see the shoes, your brain will start longing for the reward, which will make it easier to work out day after day. The best part? In a couple of weeks, you won’t need the chocolate at all. Your brain will come to see the workout itself as the reward. Which is the whole point, right?
【1】Which of the following best fits in the box with a “?” in THE HABIT LOOP?
A.Pick a new cue.
B.Form a new habit.
C.Choose a new reward.
D.Design a new resolution.
【2】What’s the purpose of putting the habit loop to use?
A.To test out different kinds of cues.
B.To do something as a habit even without rewards.
C.To work out the best New Year’s resolution.
D.To motivate yourself with satisfactory rewards.
【3】“This year when I see the Harry Potter poster, I will read 30 pages of an English novel or an English newspaper in order to watch TV for half an hour.” What is the cue in this resolution?
A.The Harry Potter poster.
B.Reading 30 pages of an English novel.
C.An English newspaper.
D.Watching TV for half an hour.

29、 A breathtaking trick potentially left over from our ancestors might be found in us-the ability to sense oxygen through our skin.
Amphibians, animals such as frogs that can live both on land and in water, have long been known to be capable of breathing through their skin. In fact, the first known lungless frog that breathes only through its skin was discovered recently in the rivers of Borneo.
Now the same oxygen sensors found in frog skins and in the lungs of mammals have unexpectedly been discovered in the skin of mice. “No one had ever looked,” explained Randall Johnson, a biologist researcher. Mice and frogs are quite distant relatives, so the fact they have these molecules in common in their skin suggests they might well be found in the skin of other mammals, such as humans. “We have no reason to think that they are not in the skin of people too.” Johnson said.
These molecules not only detect oxygen, but help increase levels of vital red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body. Normal mice breathing in air that is 10 percent oxygen-a dangerously low level similar to conditions at the top of Mount Everest, and about half that of air at sea level. However, mice that had the oxygen sensor HIF-la genetically removed from their skin failed to produce this hormone even after hours of such low oxygen.
These findings, if they hold true in humans, suggest one could raise the level of oxygen circulating inside the body. This could help treat lung diseases and disorders such as anemia without injecting drugs, which make up a multibillion- dollar market, Johnson said.
Athletes also often try to get more oxygen delivered to their muscles in order to improve their performance. They often do this by training at high altitudes or in low-oxygen tents. The new study suggests they might want to expose their skin as well as breathing in low-oxygen air to improve their performance. “It's hard to say what exactly might be done, however-there's a lot we don't know yet,” Johnson explained. The scientists detailed their findings in the April 18 issue of the journal Cell.
【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Johnson believes that Oxygen sensors also exist in human skin.
B.People have to surf the Internet to read detailed findings.
C.It has been proved that these findings help treat lung diseases.
D.It has long been expected oxygen sensors exist in mice's skin.
【2】One of the functions of the molecules mentioned above is
A.carrying-oxygen around the body
B.improving athletes'performance
C.detecting oxygen
D.increasing level of oxygen
【3】What is Johnson's attitude to the application of the findings to the athletes'training?
A.Negative B.Pessimistic C.Positive D.Hesitating
【4】The best title of the passage may be
A.Great Findings Benefits Athletes A Lot
B.Frogs And Mice Are Distant Relatives
C.First Known Animal Breathes Through Skin
D.Humans Might Sense Oxygen Through Skin

Chinese medical expert have warned that antibiotics (抗生素)are “ 【1】 overused” in hospitals, which may cause serious side-effects for the health of an entire generation.
According to the ministry, 70 percent of Chinese inpatients have received antibiotics, while the maximum number set by the World Health Organization is 30 percent. About 97 percent of 【2】 patients used antibiotics but research showed that a large number of them could avoid the need if hospitals conducted proper sanitation(公共卫生)measures.
Particularly, antibiotics are overused in the 【3】 of children. Nearly one third of the daily 10,000 outpatients at the Beijing children’s Hospital take intravenous drips(静脉输液)that largely contain antibiotics.
“Some doctors might lack proper training on how to 【4】antibiotics in a more precise way and avoid 【5】risks. Some simply want to play it safe,” said Zhu Zhenggang, president of Shanghai-based Ruijin Hospital.
The ministry 【6】 a nationwide campaign over the past six months to 【7】 the use of antibiotics. Vice Health Minister Ma Xiaowei admitted that the government faces great challenges as many public hospitals have 【8】 supervision on prescription(处方)safety under heavy pressure from patients.
Insiders also noted that the overuse of antibiotics was partly 【9】by profit-seeking pharmacy (制药)firms.
About 60 percent of the newly 【10】 medicines by the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) last year were antibiotics. According to the SFDA, the country reported 690,000 cases of adverse drug reactions caused by abuse of medicine, including 600 deaths in 2010.
